Hi Folks
I had this problem much the same as apparently some of you are having. The combination is Microsoft Messenger, Skype and Mozilla Firefox and signing into your MS account via Skype. The process was for me blocked at third party cookies in my Firefox Browser.
That is...not until I asked myself the age old question...What is Microsoft up to... well I think in this case there was no ill will on their part AND it is NOT a Firefox fix...at least for my system.
The third party cookie problem was fixed for me...by opening windows 7 control panel - Internet Options - Privacy - Advanced Tab and Accept First Party and Third Party Cookies I checked everything else while I was there just for just. My Skype now works fine with all my friends from Microsoft Messenger Contact list. Go figure, who would have thought it so simple.
I do hope this helps at least some who are having the same problem.

Thanks, I deleted all files with names like cookies.sqlite when Firefox was closed. Of course there are now new cookie files, but anyway, Skype isn't working.

I wasn't really sure what to look on the about:permissions, but cookies were enabled on all of the sites listed.

I'll get my new laptop in a few months and I think, and hope, that I won't have any problems with Skype when I'm using it. But it's weird that Skype isn't working on this computer, I feel like I've checked everything...

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.

Thanks, but Skype didn't work in Safe Mode, it just kept saying that cookies were disabled. I disabled all plugins, but that didn't work either. I also reset Firefox, but of course, it didn't help me. I wouldn't like to reinstall Firefox cause I'd lose all my bookmarks and so forth... I updated Firefox, but would reinstalling solve my problem? Or should I remove all the cookie files, like cookie.sqlite?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools &amp;gt; Add-ons &amp;gt; Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools &amp;gt; Add-ons &amp;gt; Appearance).

Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Thanks a lot, I updated Firefox but unfortunately it didn't fix my problem. I have read a lot of articles here, including the one above, and followed their instructions but few of them have concerned my problem and none of them have really helped me.
